2018 Position Rankings: Center Field

Any position group that includes the No. 1 prospect in the game is in good shape, and center field gets that distinction this year with Ronald Acuña. Backing him up are two more premium prospects in Victor Robles and Lewis Brinson. While that's a top three that contend with any position group, there is a clear dropoff into a mix of talented players with red flags (Alex Verdugo's maturity, Estevan Florial's strikeout rate, Austin Meadows' health) and young players in the lowest levels of the minors far away from contributing (Jo Adell, Leody Taveras, Luis Robert).

There is decent depth and the Top 100 players run down to No. 15, but that leads into another group of big names with significant questions about their overall future impact (Jeren Kendall, Magneuris Sierra, Daz Cameron, Mickey Moniak, Harrison Bader, Austin Beck). The elite talent at the top carries this center field class and there is big potential, but there are also a high level of potential variance, even more than usual.
